Coconut Chocolate Pudding

Every year I make chocolate-covered strawberries for my boys for Valentine’s Day. This is a tradition that really shouldn’t be messed with. Chocolate + Strawberries = Love. But I thought it might be fun to add a little something this year, so I made this to-die-for chocolate pudding. It’s super easy and vegan!

I got a little crazy with the whole coconut thing and used coconut palm sugar, coconut milk and coconut oil in this recipe. The result is actually a subtle hint of coconut which is a perfect compliment to the chocolate.

First combine coconut sugar (or brown sugar) with cornstarch in a saucepan. Then gradually add non-dairy milk, your choice, I used coconut milk. Heat over medium heat and whisk constantly. This smells really good, kind of like caramel.

When the mixture starts to thicken and begins to boil, take it off the heat. Add good quality vanilla, coconut oil and chopped chocolate. The coconut oil gives the pudding a beautiful shine and texture.
